General question: how do you start an about, bio, or introduction without the obvious awkward start sentence(e.g. " Hi, I am NAME", "Hello, My name is...")

Seem to be experiencing awkwardness now that I havent felt since being introdiced in classrooms (I moved often as a kid/teen). I'm trying to find my outgoing self again.

I totally get how people are put off by random online communication that just says "hi". Id like to avoid adding to that when I introduce myself.
